Mary's mother died when she was one year old; Mary and her twin sister Anna lived with their aunt Teckla Adams in the Plainville area. Mary and Anna returned to go to school at Tipton, walking two miles each way.

Mary and her husband farmed in the Tipton community, living on their farm until 1975 when they moved into a new home in Tipton. John died in 1981.
A devout Catholic, Mary focused her life on faithfully attending Mass and caring for her large family. She loved cooking, sewing and working in her garden. Mary had a special knack for raising chickens and was no stranger to hard work as she helped John with the farming operations.
